falconry – Foxes Den

If you had to be an animal for a week, which one would you be and why?

I’d probably like to be an Owl, just like the big fellah “Elvis” in the picture above. A great grey owl I had the pleasure of meeting a few weeks ago on a falconry day that was purchased for me as a birthday gift.

Sleep all day (that would be nice 👌) awake all night (pretty much standard for me) and exceptionally good hearing (another sense that I am truly blessed with, just as well as everyone else in the family are as deaf as posts 😂)

Silent hunters, lone operators and super senses, they are just a wonderful creation to set your eyes upon.

Who wouldn’t want to be an Owl.

Have a “Hoot” of a day 👍

Last November i hit the 60yr target, and was gifted the present of a falconry experience at a location close to home in the Langton area of Market Harborough in Leicestershire.

We chose a pretty good day as we weren’t affected by the awful weather of the last few days. Once the day had ended though the heavens did open again. We struck lucky. Here are a few pictures and videos from today’s day with some of the most gorgeous creatures on the planet.
